Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a representative case and review the literature on paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) and giant cell arteritis (GCA). METHODS A review of the English-language ophthalmic literature was performed using the search terms of PAMM, giant cell arteritis, and temporal arteritis. RESULTS A 72-year-old woman with PAMM as the presenting ophthalmic manifestation of GCA was described with a review of the prior cases from the literature. It was found that there were 26 cases of PAMM in GCA. In 19 of 26 cases, PAMM was associated with no other fundus abnormalities and was only seen on multimodal imaging including optical coherence tomography. CONCLUSION PAMM can cause acute paracentral visual loss, and GCA should be suspected in all cases of PAMM of the elderly patients, even when isolated and not associated with constitutional symptoms of GCA.

Abstract
The phrase "Bench-to-Bedside" is a well-known phrase in medicine, highlighting scientific discoveries that directly translate to impacting patient care. Key examples of translational research include identification of key molecular targets in diseases and development of diagnostic laboratory tests for earlier disease detection. Bridging these scientific advances to the bedside/clinic has played a meaningful impact in numerous patient lives. The spaceflight environment poses a unique opportunity to also make this impact; the nature of harsh extraterrestrial conditions and medically austere and remote environments push for cutting-edge technology innovation. Many of these novel technologies built for the spaceflight environment also have numerous benefits for human health on Earth. In this manuscript, we focus on "Spaceflight-to-Eye Clinic" and discuss technologies built for the spaceflight environment that eventually helped to optimize ophthalmic health on Earth (e.g., LADAR for satellite docking now utilized in eye-tracking technology for LASIK). We also discuss current technology research for spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) that may also be applied to terrestrial ophthalmic health. Ultimately, various advances made to enable to the future of space exploration have also advanced the ophthalmic health of individuals on Earth.

Abstract
Eye pain is a common complaint among patients presenting to the neurology clinic. It can be related to neurologic diseases, but it can also be a localized eye condition. Such disorders can be misleading, as their benign appearance might mask more grave underlying conditions, potentially leading to misdiagnoses or delayed treatment. Clinicians should be aware of the specific neurologic or systemic disorders (eg, demyelinating diseases or vascular abnormalities) that might first manifest as eye pain. Formal ophthalmic consultation is recommended for patients presenting with eye pain as the predominant complaint especially when red flags for more serious pathology are present.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine whether a neuro-ophthalmic curriculum would improve National Football League (NFL) game officials' self-rated knowledge and interest in neuro-ophthalmic principles to improve precision and accuracy of NFL play-calling. METHODS The formalized and structured neuro-ophthalmic principles (NOP) curriculum was introduced to 121 NFL game officials, 17 replay officials, and 4 officiating staff who attended the NFL Official Training Camp in Irving, Texas, on September 8 and 9, 2023. Before and after the lecture and videos were introduced, participants completed an optional hard-copy feedback form pertaining to self-reported NOP knowledge, likelihood of using said terms, and interest in future content of NOP applicable NFL officiating. Paired 2-tailed t tests were used for statistical analysis to directly compare the self-reported knowledge before and after the neuro-ophthalmic curriculum introduction. RESULTS One hundred forty-two participants completed the prelecture and postlecture feedback forms self-reported knowledge after the NOP curriculum was given to the NFL officiating staff. All (142/142) participants completed a survey. There was a statistically significant improvement in the mean ratings of the prelecture vs. postlecture understanding of the specific neuro-ophthalmic terms pertinent to NFL game officials (2.6 [95% CI, 2.3-3.0] vs. 7.9 [95% CI, 7.6-8.2], P < 0.001) and 2.7 [95% CI, 2.3-3.0] vs. 7.7 [95% CI, 7.4-8.0]), respectively. There was a statistically significant greater likelihood of using said terms prelecture vs. postlecture (2.9 [95% CI, 2.4-3.4] vs. 7.5 [95% CI, 7.2-7.9], P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study found a statistically significant improvement in neuro-ophthalmic knowledge and a greater likelihood of using NOP terms following the NOP curriculum. NFL game officials, replay officials, and staff are interested in expanding their knowledge in the vision science of neuro-ophthalmic concepts and applications involved in play-calling. We hope that our pilot data will lead to a model of education that will improve the precision and accuracy of NFL play-calls by officials on game days.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders producing inflammation of blood vessels (e.g. arteries or veins). All major vasculitides potentially have ophthalmological symptoms and signs including visual loss. Co-morbidity, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and geriatric syndromes all play important roles in patient outcomes for these rheumatic conditions in the elderly. This monograph reviews the NCBI PubMed database (Feb 2023) literature on the neuro-ophthalmic and geriatric considerations in vasculitis. AREAS COVERED Cogan Syndrome, Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, Giant Cell Arteritis, Polyarteritis Nodosa, Takayasu Arteritis, Vasculitis epidemiology, and neuro-ophthalmological symptoms. EXPERT OPINION Geriatric patient care for vasculitis with neuro-ophthalmological manifestations can be complicated by the interplay of multiple co-morbidities, polypharmacy, and specific geriatric syndromes. The valuation and treatment of vasculitis and the complications associated with the disease can negatively impact patient care. Advances in noninvasive imaging and updates in diagnostic criteria have enabled increased identification of patients at earlier stages with less severe disease burden. Novel therapeutic agents can be glucocorticoid sparing and might reduce the adverse effects of chronic steroid use. Holistic care models like the 5 M geriatric care model (mind, mobility, medications, multicomplexity, and matters most) allow patients' needs to be in the forefront with biopsychosocial aspects of a patient being addressed.

Abstract
Transient monocular visual loss (TMVL), also known as transient monocular blindness or amaurosis fugax ("fleeting blindness"), is a temporary loss of vision often due to ischemia to the retina. While acute TMVL should be considered an emergency that further requires exhaustive investigation, there are some cases in which TMVL arises secondary to benign causes. Age has a major impact in the diagnosis of ischemia and although the differential diagnosis of TMVL can be broad, timely and appropriate history, examination, diagnostic testing, and treatment can be vision- or life-saving. We review the causes of TMVL and the impact of age on the differential diagnoses and management.

Abstract
Open AI's Sora represents a ground-breaking innovation in AI that can generate lifelike and imaginative visual scenes based on text prompts. However, Sora has also produced some new concerns surrounding artificial video generation in medicine. While Sora is highly promising to enhance patient education, facilitate remote consultations and simulate surgical procedures, AI-generated videos also bring technical, legal, and ethical challenges. In this paper, we explore the clinical and ethical implications of Sora's AI-generated videos in the field of medicine.

Abstract
Spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) is one of the largest physiologic barriers to spaceflight and requires evaluation and mitigation for future planetary missions. As the spaceflight environment is a clinically limited environment, the purpose of this research is to provide automated, early detection and prognosis of SANS with a machine learning model trained and validated on astronaut SANS optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. In this study, we present a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) incorporating an EfficientNet encoder for detecting SANS from OCT images titled "SANS-CNN." We used 6303 OCT B-scan images for training/validation (80%/20% split) and 945 for testing with a combination of terrestrial images and astronaut SANS images for both testing and validation. SANS-CNN was validated with SANS images labeled by NASA to evaluate accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity. To evaluate real-world outcomes, two state-of-the-art pre-trained architectures were also employed on this dataset. We use GRAD-CAM to visualize activation maps of intermediate layers to test the interpretability of SANS-CNN's prediction. SANS-CNN achieved 84.2% accuracy on the test set with an 85.6% specificity, 82.8% sensitivity, and 84.1% F1-score. Moreover, SANS-CNN outperforms two other state-of-the-art pre-trained architectures, ResNet50-v2 and MobileNet-v2, in accuracy by 21.4% and 13.1%, respectively. We also apply two class-activation map techniques to visualize critical SANS features perceived by the model. SANS-CNN represents a CNN model trained and validated with real astronaut OCT images, enabling fast and efficient prediction of SANS-like conditions for spaceflight missions beyond Earth's orbit in which clinical and computational resources are extremely limited.

METHODS The North American Neuro-ophthalmology Society distributed a survey on the impact of COVID-19 on neuro-ophthalmic practice to its members. The survey consisted of 15 questions regarding the impact of the pandemic on neuro-ophthalmic practice and perspectives. RESULTS Twenty-eight neuro-ophthalmologists practicing in the United States responded to our survey. In this survey, 64% of survey respondents were male (n = 18), while 36% were female (n = 10). The average age of a respondent was 55 years old. According to 77% of survey respondents, various neuro-ophthalmic diseases were reported to have worsened during the pandemic including idiopathic intracranial hypertension, compressive optic neuropathy, optic neuritis, and giant cell arteritis. CONCLUSIONS This survey represents one of the largest studies to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic of neuro-ophthalmology. Given the underrepresentation of neuro-ophthalmology in the United States as described in the literature, this study strengthens the need for more neuro-ophthalmologists to provide timely care, particularly during the pandemic. Further interventions to incentivize the pursuit of neuro-ophthalmology training may help combat the effects of COVID-19 on neuro-ophthalmic conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disease (MOGAD) has a wide phenotypic expression and should be considered in a differential diagnosis of patients with optic disc edema and increased intracranial pressure because MOGAD can mimic IIH and compressive optic neuropathy. CASE PRESENTATION A 53-year-old woman with a history of presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension ("IIH") presented with new headache and visual loss. She had a BMI of 35.44 kg/m2 and a past medical history significant for depression, hepatitis C, hyperlipidemia, and uterine cancer post-hysterectomy. She had undergone multiple lumboperitoneal shunts for presumed IIH and had a prior pituitary adenoma resection. Her visual acuity was no light perception OD and counting fingers OS. After neuro-ophthalmic consultation, a repeat cranial MRI showed symmetric thin peripheral optic nerve sheath enhancement of the intra-orbital optic nerves OU. Serum MOG antibody was positive at 1:100 and she was treated with intravenous steroids followed by plasma exchange and rituximab. CONCLUSIONS This case highlights the importance of considering MOGAD in the differential diagnosis of optic neuropathy. Although likely multifactorial, we believe that the lack of improvement in our case from presumed IIH and despite adequate neurosurgical decompression of a pituitary adenoma with compression of the optic apparatus reflected underlying unrecognized MOGAD. Clinicians should consider repeat imaging of the orbit (in addition to the head) in cases of atypical IIH or compressive optic neuropathy especially when the clinical course or response to therapy is poor or progressive.
